Reading classes from a text file

[iN8poG1T]

Hi I'm still new with classes, all i want to do is to read a text file and output it as a shape. The thing is, i already put the ifstream but i didnt know how to continue, i only succeed doing the shape but for rectangle, square and triangle is not that i wanted it to be

THIS IS MY TEXT FILE

Your program doesn't make sense.
How can you know what shape the numbers represent?
What shape is "shape"? It seems to just be a rectangle. Usually it wouldn't be any shape at all and would have pure virtual functions.
Why does "square" have a width and a height. Wouldn't they always be the same?

You don't seem to know anything at all about how to write a program like this. Don't you have a book/example that you are following? Or are you just making it up as you go along?

The usual idea is to load the shapes into a vector of Shape pointers and then loop through the vector, calling the draw function on each shape.

actually the question is about inheritance. i need to do shape inheritance. yes i edit my square shape and how can i output my program into different shape? for example, rectangle, square and triangle? at one time. Thank you

[dutch]

actually the question is about inheritance

Actually the question seems to be about run-time polymorphism.

how can i output my program into different shape

I have no idea what that means.

You haven't answered my questions:
1. What is shape supposed to be? It seems to be a rectangle. Does that make sense to you?
2. How can you tell what shape the input lines refer to? They are all just two numbers.
3. Are you just making it up as you go along or do you have an example/book/anything?

[iN8poG1T]

the output of the question should be like this

........BBBBB..........D............
...A...BBBBB........DDD..........
..AAA......CCC...DDDDD.........
.AAAAA...CCC..DDDDDDD.......
.............CCC.DDDDDDDDD....
.................DDDDDDDDDDD...


.............. -> indicate the shape
B-> indicate the rectangle
C->indicate square
A-> indicate triangle

i should use the input value that store from batch.txt and the shape depends in the input txt file.

my teacher said we need to create shape triangle etc and inherit it from shape base class. but, i stuck in combining the shape and also reading the input text file

int main()
{

// i stuck at this point in where should i output my random placement that should look like the question

}

PSA : the question is Use random placement to place the Shape objects in the area. For each Shape object,
randomly choose one spot from all the viable placement spots left in the area to place the
Shape object.

Please don't do this, it's a waste of time for those who reply.

ok im sorry

The way you describe your assignment makes no sense to me.
Maybe someone else can figure it out.

If you have a link to an online description, you should post it.
